Bill > HR1098

This bill reauthorizes the Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program Act of 1994, making two primary modifications. First, it updates the definition of "state" by removing the reference to "any other territory or possession" while maintaining references to existing territories like Guam and the Virgin Islands. Second, the bill extends the program's funding authorization from the previous period of 2006-2010 to a new period of 2025-2031. Importantly, the bill specifies that any funds appropriated for the program can only come from within the existing budget of the Federal Duck Stamp Office, meaning no additional funds will be authorized beyond the current budgetary allocation. The Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program is an educational program that encourages students to learn about wildlife conservation through an art contest where participants create artistic renderings of waterfowl, with the winning designs featured on conservation stamps.
